    Pat Smear’s guitar tone on Nirvana’s reunion for charity?

    I watched the Nirvana reunion concert for the Fire Aid LA cause, and i couldn’t help but notice Pat’s guitar tone on School. Is it just me or… something’s wrong? Like… it’s over-fuzzed and… bizarre. What are your thoughts on this?

    What is Nirvana’s biggest appeal? Radio-friendly, pop adjacent songs or heavy, punk, grunge songs?

    Curious what everyone’s biggest draw to Nirvana is? Is it their pop / radio friendly songs like All apologies, About a girl, Come as you are?

    Or is it the grunge, punk heavy songs like Negative Creep, Territorial Pissings, Breed, School, etc.

    I have always found them to be the ultimate and definitive version of what a grunge band is. The raspy, angst, screaming vocals with the heavy distortion, feedback all over, guitar sound is my reason for loving them. Kurt wasn’t a technician on guitar, but I would take his playing and sound over 98% of all other guitarist ever. My favorite version of them is from the Live at the Paramount concert. Love their sound in the set.

    Met Krist Novoselic yesterday! He was so nice! Here’s a pic of us.

    He was friendly and even gave me and my buddy postcards he keeps on him that has a pic of him playing bass. I told him I learned to play guitar to Nirvana when I was young and he was stoked. Rad dude!

    I used to argue that NIRVANA was the greatest band of all time

    When I was younger (90s and 00s) I used to make this argument to be a little bit of an asshole because I naïvely used to uncritically accept that the old giants (e.g., Zeppelin, Beatles, Stones). But after years of saying it—even though I always loved them—I started to and, to some extent, believe that they are. I think they way they introduced an entirely new genre to the masses is rare and a strong argument. But also, they are among the most authentic popular musical artists, ever. Kurt and Krist are also upstanding people who stood up to injustice. That, and their music fucking hits!

    So i was wondering about something for a nirvana tribute band...

    do you guys think its ok for a nirvana tribute to have a singer that doesnt play guitar at the same time? because i cant play guitar and sing at the same time, but i can do vocals pretty well. let me know what you guys think. please.

    Do you think these recent reuinions could ever grow into something bigger, perhaps a tour? I know I am not the only one hoping for something like this.

    Anyone else go to the Fire Aid concert? The performance was absolutely amazing.

    Was lucky enough to attend, and my jaw dropped when I saw 3/4 of the OG members on stage. Literally one of my most memorable experiences. Seeing Pat and his Hagstrom was badass.

    Last night’s lineup was absolutely nuts too, the Red Hot Chili Peppers fucking killed it.

    Sadly, the audience in my section was lame. Nobody knew the lyrics and they seemed uninterested in Nirvana’s set.

    With Foo Fighters on break, could we finally see a Nirvana reunion tour?

    Obviously everyone is jazzed about last night’s unexpected Fire Aid reunion. And it’s not the first time they’ve done this.

    What are the chances we get a full tour of this type of act, with rotating singers?

    It would give Dave a chance to be on stage, but not as the frontman.

    I would pay literally any amount to be in that pit.

    Nirvana reunion not playing hits is the most Nirvana thing ever.

    Them playing a surprise reunion to a crowd that is not specifically Nirvana fans, and not playing their famous Nevermind hits… that was perfection. Dave and Krist knew exactly what they were doing. Kurt would be proud imo.
